Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a children’s health check-up?
A children’s health check-up involves assessing your child’s growth, development and overall wellbeing. The doctor may ask about your child’s diet, sleep, behaviour and activity levels. They may also check weight, height, and perform other physical assessments relevant to your child’s age. Immunisations may be provided if your child is due. These check-ups are an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have and receive healthcare advice specific to your child’s needs.
When should children have regular health checks?
Regular health checks are recommended throughout childhood, particularly during key stages of development. Babies and toddlers typically have frequent check-ups to monitor growth and immunisations. For school-aged children, annual or biennial health checks help monitor ongoing development and wellbeing. These appointments also provide an opportunity to discuss health concerns such as nutrition, learning difficulties or mental wellbeing. Your doctor can recommend a health check schedule based on your child’s individual needs.
What childhood illnesses can doctors help with?
Doctors can help diagnose and manage a wide range of common childhood illnesses. These may include asthma, allergies, ear infections, skin conditions, colds, stomach upsets and minor injuries. Your doctor will assess your child’s symptoms and provide advice on managing their illness, medications if required, and follow-up care. In some cases, a referral to another healthcare provider may be recommended. Early assessment and care can help manage childhood illnesses and support your child’s recovery.
Are childhood immunisations necessary?
Childhood immunisations are recommended as part of the Australian National Immunisation Program. These vaccines help protect children against common and serious illnesses such as measles, whooping cough and polio. Immunisations are typically given at scheduled intervals from birth to adolescence. Your doctor can explain what immunisations are recommended, the schedule they follow, and answer any questions you may have. Keeping immunisations up to date helps support your child’s health and the health of the wider community.
